IAN RUSH: Javier Mascherano needs to ignore transfer speculation and focus on Liverpool FC
SO another weekend has passed with another story linking Javier Mascherano with a move to Barcelona.[LNB]It was good to read in the ECHO yesterday that Liverpool quickly dismissed the speculation, as he is an important player.[LNB]But the time has now come for Argentina's captain to back up the faith many have shown in him with a string of top displays for the Reds at this most crucial period.[LNB]I don't know where the stories are coming from and you tend to find they only emerge when a team is having a bad patch.[LNB]It doesn't do any good, though, and you must hope it doesn't prove too unsettling.[LNB]In my view, Barcelona are not a bigger club than Liverpool and he would do well to remember he was given a chance here when things were going badly for him.
